> When using an environment variable as a profile activation variable, it doesnt work, using either env.X or ${env.X} doesnt work.
> I found the same issue on the forums unresolved.

> Basically, the following doesnt work, where FOO is a windows environment variable (like PATH for example) :
> {code:xml} 
>  <profile>
>   <id>haroon-workstation</id>
>   <activation>
>     <property>
>       <name>env.FOO</name>
>       <value>foo</value>
>     </property>
>    </activation>
>     .......
>  </profile> 
> {code}
